Music City comes by its name honestly. At any given time, there's country on at the Grand Ole Opry or the Ryman Auditorium, rock at Mercy Lounge, singer-songwriters at the Bluebird Cafe, and a little bit of everything on Lower Broad. But when you need a break from toe-tapping, head for hot chicken at Hattie B's, worked off with a run around the Parthenon in Centennial Park or a walking tour of the Gulch or East Nashville. It's hard to be bored here.
